Suspected Ritualist Who Raped His Teenage Daughter Has Been Arrested (Photos)

A man from Ekiti state who was accused of using
his daughter for money ritual after making attempts
to rape her, has been finally apprehended. According to reports, the man named Rufus
Kehinde Daramola, who had been on the run since
after he was summoned by traditional rulers over
the money ritual accusation, was nabbed yesterday
with the help of Oba justice Ademola Ajakaye, the
Oluyin of Iyin Ekiti. The 18-year-old daughter identified as Taiwo,
passed away recently after suffering from an
undisclosed sickness since January.

It was earlier reported that the man made
attempts to sleep with his daughter three times
but failed but according to a relative, Omolayo
Sussan Omowumi, the man allegedly slept with
his daughter.

It was gathered that after the suspect was nabbed,
a Muslim cleric told everyone at the palace of the
Oluyin that the daughter reportedly confessed to
him before her death that her father slept with her
but was afraid of telling her mum for the fear of
being killed as threatened by her father. He was alleged to have raped her with charm. The man also allegedly tried raping at least 3 of his
wife’s younger sisters while the wife was with their
daughter at the hospital.

The Muslim cleric also told people at the palace
that if the man is left to complete his ritual and
his money finally arrives, that his children will
continue to die whether they are up to 100 in
number.

Mr Daramola who earlier denied being the father of
the girl – said he never meant to commit the act. He
was handed over to the police, right there in the
palace yesterday.
